I've sold a few cars privately over the years but the last was 10 years ago. Lots of photo's, decent description, long mot and price it sensibly and they always went in a couple of weeks.
Selling my daughters Mito has been like pulling teeth. Multiple messages asking is it still for sale and then nothing, people asking will i take a part-exchange, 1 travelled 3 hours and walked away as her son didn't like the white wheels and didn't expect the wheel to be kerbed, a number of no shows and finally today a local chap who phoned at 7am this morning to view it, cancelled 2 minutes before he was due as he wants a diesel!
Another 2 hours wasted messing about washing it, charging the battery, checking fluid etc
